One day a while ago, I caught a glimpse of myself reflected in a store window. What I saw made me stop and stare. Instead of the relatively lean guy I still believed I was, I saw a heavyset person with a protruding belly.
This was the wake-up call I needed to shock me into facing up to what my bathroom scale had been telling me for a long time: I had fallen into the very same pattern of creeping weight gain—a couple of pounds every year—that I had helped many of my clients overcome with solution-focused motivational coaching (SFMC).
My first step was to see my doctor for a checkup. Tests showed that I was pre-diabetic. The doctor suggested that I follow a low carb, or “keto” dietary plan from the Lifestyle Medicine Clinic at Duke University Medical Center. Next, as in the famous quip, “Physician, heal thyself”, I began a series of self-coaching sessions to reinforce my commitment to managing my weight.
In a short time, I got used to a new way of eating and the results began to show. My A1C fell a full point into the normal range. Over the course of a year, I dropped 40 pounds without feeling hungry, and I’ve kept it off ever since.
You can lose weight, too— on any dietary plan—by tapping into your own hidden strengths with SFMC, as I did. It’s much easier than you may think.
Sound interesting? Call me. I’ll be happy to provide a complimentary phone consultation without obligation.
Sincerely,
Fred
